Thanks to the Why We Ride website, my day started off watching this unbelievably chill dad exploring his kids’ motorcycle paint job.
“Oh, gooood. You guys got the front, too.” He says. “Yeah, Daddy! Look right here!” They excitedly point at their yellow and white paint slapped across their dad’s Black Honda Goldwing.
“Sarah, you understand I am not happy about this, ok? I am amazingly calm about this.”
I don’t even know what I would have done- maybe just started crying. Then again, I don’t have kids. Perhaps after years of their tomfoolery I’d be less surprised and have a reaction more like this guy.
Mary McGee is a pioneer in American motorcycle racing, thanks to her untamable determination and a spirit as warm as her smile. Her excitement for motorcycling, especially racing, is contagious even in her eighties. She was the first woman to receive an FIM racing license in the United States, first woman to complete the Baja 1000, and the first woman to race the Baja 500 solo. These aren’t her only firsts, either. She was also the first woman in motocross and road racing in the States. McGee was rightly inducted into the AMA Hall of Fame in 2018.
